The National Defense looks back this Labor Day weekend on the story and
events surrounding the the film "American Sniper" and the life and death of
Chris Kyle. Randy and Jerry talk about the unique position that American
soldiers find themselves in both on the front lines and the homefront.

"Come Back Home"

Come Back Home was written in the wake of me losing my longtime drummer and former Army soldier John C. Williams. But the song started off as a reflection of how a military couple deals with separation. After the release of Come Back Home, Johns little brother was killed by an IED in Iraq. His name was Blake Williams. His platoon used this track as the audio to a memorial slide show presentation they did in March of 2008. It was for all the courageous men and women they had lost in the month of March.
I am humbled by their service to our great country and I hope this song brings them some peace. My father served in Vietnam and I truly appreciate their dedication and bravery."
